David Thompson is an Australian chef, restaurateur and cookery writer, known for his expertise in Thai cuisine. His restaurant Nahm, opened in London in 2001, was the first Thai restaurant to receive a Michelin star. Nahm Bangkok remained on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list for seven consecutive years. The British food writer Grace Dent wrote that Thompson "changed the face of Thai food in the UK".
